I hired ms. Moroff because the school district was running me around and not offering the services…read morenor giving me the information as to what my child was entitled to. They did not educate me with regard to what I needed to do to help my son or offer me the services he clearly needed. It was not until Ms. Moroff got on the case, did I even have a clue as to how the system worked against my child and not for my child. She consulted with me, wrote e mails, taped our IEP meetings and went with me to all the meeteings. It was then that I realized that I was so fortunate to have such a great advocate working for my child. I highly recommend Ms. Moroff to anyone who needs a voice for their child. She is a warm and compassionate person would not have gotten the services he now has. He has become successful in school because of this. I highly recommend Ms. Moroff, she herself has a child with disabilities. She is intelligent, educated in the field of Advocacy a warm and compassionate woman who will go the extra mile to make sure that the school district provides the proper services to help your.child be succesful.

My son is 16 now and in all AP classes on his way to become a brilliant engineer. My daughter is 12 and exudes confidence both in school work and in sports. We are so lucky to have so many options locally and I'm grateful for the wonderful and well rounded experience my kids had at community. The school is small and the volunteer aspect is a huge plus. I volunteered for basically everything including book fairs, field trips, and in class events and it was a special experience filled with hard working staff and great kiddos and familes.

They will not tell you what to make up when absent and I get that you can check google classroom and the agenda but some things we do in class aren't online so when your grade drops you have no idea what you need to make up and turn in. Teachers are nice don't get me wrong but some can be really frustrating. Kids are...kids nothing much I can say about that. They are immature as expected for middle school. I've never had any problems with administration as they have been really nice. The counselors are very nice as well I love Mrs. O'Connor and Mrs. Briening (I probably spelled it wrong) they always let me heat up my lunch and as for Mr.Vega I never really talked to him so idk but he seems like a nice guy. There have been 3 fights at the school from the years I have been there; 2023-2026 but one was at the town square near Albertsons so not many if you think about it. Overall good education and there has been some fun memories made from school trips and etc.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience trying to get information about Smith Chason's…read moreMRI program has been incredibly frustrating. It's been over a month, and I still haven't been able to get accurate information about the program. After filling out the online inquiry form, I spoke with someone in admissions who recommended I attend a Zoom information session. I arranged daycare and adjusted my schedule so I could attend. Once the presentation started, the instructor explained that the session had nothing to do with the MRI program. It was exclusively about the Ultrasound program. I notified my admissions representative, who apologized and said he would send me a presentation with information about the MRI program. Instead, he sent me the exact same Ultrasound presentation. I then asked to be referred to someone else who could actually answer my questions about MRI, but I never received a response. I cannot emphasize enough how frustrating and unprofessional this experience has been. If a school can't provide basic information to a prospective student after more than a month, it doesn't inspire confidence in the program or the institution as a whole.

UPDATE: I stopped attending Smith Chason San Marcos in June…read more2025, and the school continues to confirm exactly why I left. Current students still contact me ...a former student ...because they are experiencing the same ongoing issues: biased grading, inconsistent expectations, and an EPL course that seems designed more around personal preference than actual educational standards. At this point, it's unclear whether the root problem is poor management, lack of structure, or simply a refusal to acknowledge the program's failures. Regardless, the results are obvious ! students are failing, withdrawing, or transferring at a rate that should concern any institution claiming to prepare future professionals. So here is a direct question for the San Marcos campus How do you plan to maintain graduation rates when your own program repeatedly undermines the success of the students paying to be here? Is this going to reflect on the San Marcos website for the school ? The fact that students trust a former attendee more than their own instructors is telling. It reflects a level of dysfunction so normalized within the program that students no longer expect fairness, clarity, or support from within the school itself. I cannot recover the time or money I invested, but I can make sure future students enter with accurate expectations. I will continue updating this review, and I will also be posting TikTok videos breaking down these issues in detail so prospective students can see exactly what they are signing up for. A refund would be the bare minimum acknowledgment of the program's ongoing failures. Whether you choose to offer one is up to you .. but the pattern is already documented, and I will continue adding to that documentation as long as current students keep reaching out.
